Eleanor H. Porter was born as Eleanor Hodgman in Littleton, New Hampshire on December 19, 1868, the daughter of Francis Fletcher Hodgman and Llewella Woolson. She was trained as a singer, attending New England Conservatory for several years, but later turned to writing. In 1892, she married John Lyman Porter and moved to Massachusetts. That is when she began writing and publishing her short stories and later novels. She died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on May 21, 1920 and was buried at Mount Auburn Cemetery.
Porter mainly wrote children's literature, adventure stories and romance fiction. Her most famous novel is Pollyanna (1913), later followed by a sequel, Pollyanna Grows Up (1915). Her adult novels include The Turn of the Tide (1908), The Road to Understanding (1917), Oh Money! Money! (1918), Dawn (1919), Keith's Dark Tower (1919), Mary Marie (1920), and Sister Sue (1921); her short story collections include Across the Years (c. 1923), Money, Love and Kate (1923), Little Pardner (1926).
Porter achieved considerable commercial success: in 1913, Pollyanna ranked eighth among bestselling novels in the United States, second in 1914, and fourth in 1915 (it went through forty-seven printings between 1915 and 1920); in 1916, Just David ranked third; in 1917, The Road to Understanding ranked fourth; in 1918, Oh Money! Money! ranked fifth.
As soon as Pollyanna arrives in Beldingsville to live with her strict and dutiful maiden aunt, she begins to brighten up everybody's life. The 'glad game' she plays, of finding a silver lining in every cloud, transforms the sick, the lonely and the plain miserable - until one day something so terrible happens that even Pollyanna doesn't know how to feel glad about it.
读完pollyanna,想起一部小学很喜欢的动画片《阿尔卑斯山的少女》(宫崎骏早期参与制作的动画电影,改编自《海蒂》,不过我看过的那本现在也找不到了是翻译成《夏蒂》,之后Shirley Temple邓波儿也出演过海蒂的电影,但是感动程度远远比不上当时看的动画片)的小莲,开朗...
评分 评分小时候读的睡前故事啦,那一版是绿色封面,插画很美。故事也很简单,很美,英国的乡村风格。故事淡淡的。不喜欢英文字典里的这个解释...因为其实整个故事并非写实风格的,是一种艺术的、文艺的风格,字典里的意思完全就没有理解这本书想要表达的东西。。我的评论太短了是怎么回...
评分十一岁女孩波莉安娜在她的姨妈家住宿,一开始她的姨妈波莉让她住在阁楼上,后来她教会了许多人''快乐游戏'',让所有人以及波莉小姐头快乐的生活下去.她出了车祸奇尔 奥医生和波莉姨妈结了婚,波莉安娜在奇尔奥医生的朋友那养伤。 我很喜欢《波莉安娜》。
评分这本书好感人啊,是的我们的生活不缺乏快乐只是我们缺少发现快乐的心灵,现在人们的快乐被越来越多的事所困扰,我们的生活不缺少快乐,是要我们用心灵去体会去感受的,细细的品味生活中的每一件事,快乐就会像潮水般的现我们用过来,在空气中包围我们,是我们为之感动,这就是快乐
